The entrant further represents and warrants that the content and any use thereof by the promoter or any partners, subsidiaries and affiliates in connection with programming, advertising, promotion and publicity, shall not infringe upon any statutory or common law intellectual property right (including, without limitation, any copyright) under NZ and international laws and shall not constitute a defamation, or invasion of the right of privacy or publicity, or infringement of any other right of any kind of third party.
6. Copyright
Entrants will retain copyright in their work, but in submitting their entry understand that the Promoter may choose to share or include all or part of the Entrants entry on their website, on their social channels, in campaign videos and in their collateral in relation to any of our campaigns and competitions and for the purpose of future marketing and promotional materials. This also includes distribution via paid advertising across social and media platforms.
Prize winners will also retain copyright in their work. However, to receive their prize, each prize winner must grant to the Promoter a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, assignable, royalty-free license to publish, reproduce, distribute, display, perform, create derivative works, transmit or disseminate the works in all media or platforms, whether now known or hereafter invented, for any purposes the Promoter may determine without further consideration to the prize winner or any third party. The prize winner also waives any and all moral rights in the works with respect to any use by the Promoter.

7. Privacy
The personal information of the entrant will be kept private and confidential other than for purposes relating to the successful execution of this competition.

8. Process of selecting and notifying prize winners
The Promoter will review all qualifying entries and select prize winners at the time a competition has been determined to close, as set out below. The Promoter’s decisions in relation to the prize draw are final and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into regarding the judging process, or any outcomes reached.
Prize winners will be notified via email or phone, depending on the nature of the competition. The prize winner will be required to respond to the email within 5 days and to provide any requested documents and/or files (if applicable) within 7 working days. Failure to respond within this time frame or to provide the required documents may result in forfeiture of the prize, and, in such case, the promoter will, at their discretion, select an alternate prize winner.
9. Prizes and draw
Prizes are drawn randomly, using an online random number generator, from all qualifying entries.
Entrants’ submissions will be checked for eligibility before they are confirmed as a prize winner. Should the entries be deemed as ineligible at the Promoter’s discretion, then the prize will be redrawn and awarded to another entrant.
In the event that evidence is provided suggesting a prize winner is not the outright owner of their submission, the Promoter reserves the right to revoke the prize and re-award it to another entrant.
The prize winner cannot assign or transfer the prize to another person, except at the discretion of the Promoter.
Prizes are not exchangeable or redeemable for cash.
No prize substitution or changes are allowed except at the discretion of the promoter.
Prizes have their own unique terms and conditions relating to redemption, expiry dates and blackout dates. These will be specified as prizes are released.
If a prize or any portion of a prize cannot be awarded due to circumstances beyond the control of the promoter (e.g. conflict between seasonal operations and the prize winner's selected travel dates, business closure, force majeure etc), a substitute prize at an equal or lesser value may be awarded at the discretion of the promoter; provided, however, that if prizes are awarded but unclaimed/forfeited by the prize winner, the prize may not be re-awarded.
Prize is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind.
The prize winner is responsible for any loss of the prize or portion of the prize after it has been awarded.
The promoter shall not be obligated to award any prize that relates to or arises out of improper or mistaken prize notification, operation or function of this competition.
The promoter is not responsible if any prize cannot be awarded due to travel cancellations, delays, or interruptions due to acts of god, acts of war, natural disasters, weather or terrorism.
